Sep 24, 2024 8:37 pm: Legette is expected to notice a boost in snaps and targets in the weeks to come after the Panthers placed Adam Thielen (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis: Legette finished with two catches for 42 yards on targets while logging 44 of the Panthers' 74 offensive snaps in the Week 3 win over the Raiders, but his playing time really took off once Thielen exited the game in the second quarter due to injury. His snap share rose all the way to 76 percent in the second half, tops among all Carolina receivers. Though Diontae Johnson will be locked in as the clear No. 1 option in the passing attack while Thielen is out and could see his target share increase, a more proficient offense helmed by Andy Dalton could leave enough room for Legette to carve out enough weekly volume to emerge as a usable option in deeper fantasy leagues.
